Description Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 100000601 -26 This Request for Proposal (RFP) is an invitation by the Toronto Police Service (TPS) to prospective and qualified Proponents to submit proposals for an exam Solution, as further described in this RFP. The TPS will accept submissions for either a Solution with a delivery method of TPS hosted environments (TPS-hosted) or Software as a Service (Cloud). Proponents can submit either type of delivery method. If a Proponent submits to both types of delivery methods, two (2) separate complete submissions clearly labeled as Cloud or TPS-hosted will need to be submitted. Proposal Submission Proposals Must be submitted through the MERX Electronic Bid Submission (“EBS”) System (www.merx.com). For assistance in using MERX, please contact MERX directly at 1-800-964-MERX or visit the MERX website at www.merx.com. Your proposal submission shall be taken as your statement that you understand the requirements and agree to comply with the requirements and any supplementary terms and conditions, or addenda stated in the proposal documents. Your proposal submission confirms that you have checked and confirmed your pricing and by signing the proposal submission forms, you agree that you have not omitted any items from your proposal and you will be bound by law to supply the services as specified at the prices proposed. Proponents are to submit their proposal through the MERX EBS System prior to 1:00:00 P.M. local time on Tuesday June 16, 2026. Uploading large documents may take significant time, depending on file size and internet connection speed. It is strongly recommended that Proponents review the MERX EBS instructions well in advance of the closing date and allow sufficient time before the closing date to upload documents and finalize their submissions. Proponents making submissions near the deadline do so at their own risk. The determination of whether the proposal is delivered by the closing date shall be based on the electronic time and date stamp generated by the MERX EBS System server, whether or not accurate. Proponents will receive an email confirmation receipt with a unique confirmation number upon finalizing their submissions. Late submissions are not permitted and any proposals submitted after the closing date and time as per the clock of the MERX EBS System will be rejected.
